Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general field of blades variable pitch angle. It finds a particular application in the field of aeronautics, in particular for the control of the angular positions of air inlet guide vanes in turbomachine compressors.
  • the high-pressure compressor typically consists of several stages of blades variable pitch angle that can change the flow characteristics of the gas according to the operating conditions of the turbomachine.
  • variable pitch angle blades of the same stage each comprise a control pivot head and a guide pivot foot, the control pivot passing through a stator envelope of the turbine engine and cooperating with a control member of the orientation of the blades, and the guide pin being movable in rotation in a sleeve housed in a recess of an inner ring of the casing of the turbomachine. From an action on the control member, it is thus possible to change the orientation of the blades of the stage concerned.
  • the blades variable pitch angle are thus positioned with a single degree of freedom by rotating their guide pin in the sleeve.
  • the bushings must therefore transmit to the inner ring of the housing the forces exerted on the blade and allow friction with the guide pivot of the blade, that is to say that they must offer the times a low coefficient of friction and a high resistance to wear.
  • variable pitch angle blades are made of steel, to make the sleeves in a graphite-based material.
  • blades variable pitch angle are subjected to high mechanical stress which causes premature wear of their guide pin. The blades must then be replaced after only a few thousand hours of operation which becomes unacceptable in terms of cost.
  • the main object of the present invention is therefore to overcome such drawbacks by proposing a blade and a bush making it possible to obtain a low coefficient of friction and a high wear resistance.
  • variable pitch angle blade for a turbomachine compressor comprising a bushing rotatably mounted around a blade guide pivot intended to be mounted on a casing of the turbomachine, and in which according to the invention, the rotary contact between the socket and the foot is of the nickel graphite / titanium type.
  • the Applicant has found that graphite acts as a solid lubricant during a continuous friction, thus ensuring a relatively low coefficient of friction, and that the friction of graphite on titanium causes the formation of titanium carbide on the peaks of roughness providing a high wear resistance between the bushing and the guide pivot of the blade. Thus, the life of the blades, including their feet, is increased.
  • the sleeve is made of a material based on nickel and graphite.
  • the sleeve can be obtained by sintering a nickel-based powder and graphite in a mold.
  • the guide pin when the guide pin is not made of a titanium-based metal material, said guide pin is covered with a deposit of nickel graphite and the sleeve consists of a titanium-based material.
  • the blade may further comprise a metal ferrule covered with a nickel graphite deposit and fretted on the guide pin, the sleeve then being made of a titanium-based material.
  • the blade may further comprise a hoop consisting of a material based on of nickel and graphite and shrunk on the guide pin, the sleeve then being made of a titanium-based material.
  • nickel graphite when it is a deposit of nickel graphite, it can be achieved by thermal spraying of a nickel-based powder and graphite.
  • the invention also relates to a turbomachine compressor and a turbomachine comprising a plurality of blades variable pitch angle as defined above.
  • variable-pitch angle blades 2 of the high-pressure compressor of the turbomachine are distributed in circular stages arranged between stages of moving blades (not shown) which are fixed on a rotor (not shown). of the turbomachine.
  • Each blade 2 with variable pitch angle of a circular stage is in the form of a blade 4 ending at an outer radial end (or blade head) by a control pivot 6 (or upper pivot) and to an inner radial end (or blade root) by a guide pin 8 (or lower pivot).
  • the control pivot 6 passes through a stator envelope 10 of the turbomachine and cooperates with a control member of the orientation of the blades.
  • the control pivot 6 ends with a head 12 on which is engaged an end of a control rod 14 whose other end cooperates with a control ring 16.
  • the rods 14 and the control ring 16 form the control member of the orientation of the blades.
  • the rotation of the control ring 16 around the axis of the turbomachine makes it possible to turn the control rods 14 and thus simultaneously modify the orientation of all the blades 2 with variable pitch angle of the same stage of the high-pressure compressor.
  • the guide pivot 8 of the blade is intended to rotate inside a substantially cylindrical hollow sleeve 18 forming pivoting support.
  • Each bushing 18 is housed in a recess 20 formed in an inner ring 22 of the casing of the turbomachine, the bushing and the recess being of substantially complementary shapes.
  • the rotary contact between the sleeve 18 and the guide pivot 8 of the blade is of the nickel graphite / titanium type.
  • contact of the nickel graphite / titanium type is meant that the rotary contact between the sleeve 18 and the guide pivot 8 of the blade comprises a first contact surface and a second contact surface adjacent to the first, the first surface being consisting of a material based on nickel and graphite, and the second surface being made of a titanium-based material.
  • the nickel graphite / titanium pair Under the conditions of use of a continuous rotary contact between the bushing and the guide pin, the nickel graphite / titanium pair has extraordinary performance due to its high wear resistance and low coefficient of friction.
  • the rotational contact between the bushing and the guide pin passes through a break-in period which is characterized by an initial friction between the roughness peaks of NiGr and Ti surfaces.
  • This friction causes a very high local heating, especially for titanium (which has a low coefficient of conductivity of heat).
  • the very high temperature of titanium associated with NiGr then leads to the formation of titanium carbide (TiC) which is deposited on the contact surfaces between the sleeve and the guide pin and thus ensures a high local hardness which limits the wear of surfaces in contact.
  • the Waspalloy ® used in the first pair of this test is a known nickel-based alloy.
  • the TA6V titanium used in the second test pair it is a known alloy based on titanium and comprising aluminum and vanadium.
  • the sleeve 18 is, according to the invention, made of a material based on nickel and graphite.
  • the socket can be obtained by sintering a nickel-graphite powder in a mold.
  • MIM Metal Injection Molding
  • SPS Spark Plasma Sintering
  • the guide pin 8 of the blade is not made of a titanium-based material (for example because it is made of a steel-based alloy)
  • the guide pin can be covered, according to the invention, a nickel graphite deposit, the sleeve 18 then being made of a titanium-based material.
  • the deposition of nickel graphite on the guide pivot of the blade can be achieved by thermal spraying of a nickel-based powder and graphite.
  • a screen should preferably be used so that the angle between the trajectory of the projected powder and the tangent to the pivot at the point of impact is less than approximately 45 ° in order to ensure proper adhesion of the powder on the pivot.
  • the blade according to the invention furthermore comprises a metallic hoop 24 which is covered with a deposit of nickel graphite and shrunk on the guide pin, the sleeve 18 then being made of a titanium-based material.
  • the deposition of nickel graphite on the hoop 24 of the blade can be achieved by thermal spraying a powder based on nickel and graphite.
  • a screen should preferably be used so that the angle between the trajectory of the projected powder and the tangent to the hoop at the point of impact is less than approximately 45 ° in order to ensure proper adhesion of the powder. on the fret.
  • the blade according to the invention further comprises a hoop which is consisting of a material based on nickel and graphite and which is shrunk on the guide pin, the sleeve then being made of a titanium-based material.
  • the hoop is advantageously obtained by sintering a powder based on nickel and graphite in a mold according to the MIM or SPS methods previously described.
